Oaxacan Animal Bowl

Purpose:

To gain a basic understanding of folk art and Oaxacan artistic culture and to create a ceramic bowl inspired by this culture’s style

To become acquainted with basic ceramic vocabulary

Art Culture Studied:

The Oaxacan Culture from Mexico

Three things that I learned while making this bowl was first how to make neat cuts out of clay. This helped my learning because now moving forward in art, if I decide to take something with clay, I will know how to make a neat cut instead of just ripping the clay. I also learned about the Oaxacan culture. The last thing that I learned is how to paint on clay without making it have a lot of lines in it.
